Junior LB Richard Yeargin III (6-4 215) of Hollywood, FL has offers from Clemson, Wake Forest, UCLA, Wisconsin and Purdue with interest from Georgia Tech, Miami and Notre Dame among others. "I'm getting interest from just about everybody really," said Yeargin. "I think the offers will start rolling in this spring." Clemson is a school of high interest for the Florida product. "I visited them over the summer and it is really nice," he said. "Everything is nice there. They have a good program and I like the way coach (Brent) Venables relates to me. He likes me in the 3-4 scheme and, even though he is busy, he takes the time to stay in contact with me." Other visits he has taken include Miami, Georgia Tech and Ohio State. He plans to return to Clemson in the future. "I'm sort of lying low right now and playing basketball," Yeargin said. "I'll get back into football-mode this spring and start looking at visits I want to take." He did not name a favorite.
